This has been the most consistently cold winter I can remember. I know we have it pretty easy in Southern California and I'm not dealing with snow or ice BUT I have needed a coat more days that not in the last month, if that tells you anything. This spotted moto coat from LOFT made its way into my closet and I'm loving it. It makes a subtle statement and can easily be dressed up or down.

Last week winter decided to make an appearance in Southern California, and it had been so long I’d forgotten what it was like to be cold! Out came the jackets, coats and sweaters as I tried to be as layered as possible. I had back-to-back brunches mid-week, so it was fun to get a little more dressed up than I normally do. But I’m back to basics this week as I catch up on work and prepare for a fun weekend away.

Monday 2/19

Over the weekend we made a trip up to Northern California to visit family and friends. We spent Saturday in San Francisco so naturally we had to take some pictures there.

I don’t know what it is this year, but I have a major thing for coats and can’t stop buying them! Is #IHaveThisThingWithCoats a thing yet, or am I crazy? This gray one is just as cozy as it looks and saved me big time in the chilly temperatures.

Over the last week our temperatures dropped a lot. It feels like we’ve skipped fall and gone straight into winter, at least for this Southern California girl. When I leave for work in the early mornings (at 5:30 am when it’s still dark) it’s super cold so I’m always grabbing a cozy coat or jacket on my way out. It’s a fun change from our never-ending summer, that’s for sure!

I wanted to share my favorite outerwear pieces right now. So many cute ones keep popping up and they’re too good to keep to myself.
